Data(tables or indexes) is stored on the permanent disk in the form of data files. Each data file consists of multiple pages. Whenever we read/write from and to the disk, we either read or write page(s). So you can say a page is the minimum storage unit on disk that we use for reads and writes. Every real-world system wants its client’s or customer’s information to persist in permanent storage to retrieve it later.
